Has you vet ever suggested adding fish oil/fatty acids to her diet? That has really helped Lady. I give her 3V caps.
Here is some information: Fatty Acids for Allergies & Dry Skin in Dogs
What do you feed her? Diet can make a big difference, too. |
I think he might of mentioned adding Fish Oil to her diet a while back. But you know, he gave me a bottle of Welactin to put on her food and I stopped using it after a while because I read here (can't remember where, or from who) but someone said that an ingredient in the Welactin isn't the best for them to have when they have allergies. So, she is now getting the Grizzly Salmon Oil in the morning on her food. Do you think the 3V capsules would be better? Or can you give them both (3V and Grizzly Salmon Oil)?
Also - she is currently on NV Raw but I am going to be starting her on Natural Balance Potato & Duck (allergy formula) either tonight or tomorrow to see how she does on it.
